Plexxi’s software-defined network fundamentally changes the scalability and economics for customers deploying the latest scale-out applications and hyperconverged infrastructure. With Plexxi, organizations can deploy a single IP network that supports all workloads. On a per-workload basis, administrators can: define workload policies, allocate path bandwidth, and isolate workload traffic across the Plexxi fabric, eliminating the need to deploy multiple, separate networks.

The ability to support multiple, diverse workloads on a single IP network fabric and control them through software is a fundamental requirement that Plexxi clearly understands and uniquely delivers. Plexxi’s software control plane, programmatic APIs, and pre-built Connect Integration Packs deliver zero-touch integration and dynamic, Nutanix-specific, workload optimizations that simplify ongoing management.

This webinar will discuss the ease-of-use, tight integration, and cost benefits of deploying Plexxi as the scale-out network for Nutanix environments. You’ll learn how Plexxi’s next-generation design fundamentally change the speed and economics of deploying Nutanix through:

Is your Splunk deployment or upgrade going to be hosted on bare metal, a virtualized platform, or the cloud? The cloud has often been chosen for agility and flexibility, but on-prem deployments are experiencing a resurgence. Data security concerns and the desire to bring the analysis engine as close to the data source as possible are key influencers in the on-prem trend. In these cases, bare metal deployments are commonly chosen due to cost or complexity of hypervisors, however with bare metal Splunk loses out on all the quality of life improvements users have come to expect with virtualization.

This webinar explores the benefits of virtualizing Splunk on the Nutanix enterprise cloud platform, taking the complexity out of managing virtualized infrastructure for Splunk, allowing Splunk experts to spend more time extracting insight from data. Nutanix allows Splunk to take full advantage of server virtualization without the limitations of other solutions and combines this with the agility and flexibility of public clouds. By ensuring data is accessed locally by all Splunk indexers, Nutanix eliminates the “I/O Blender” effect that can plague conventional, bare metal infrastructure.

Register to see how to architect the best environment for Splunk with deployments that can scale to handle increasing data ingest rates and ever-increasing expectations for high performance. Learn useful tips on how to fully leverage the Nutanix distributed storage fabric, with details on data tiering, EC-X erasure coding, disk balancing, and more. We’ll also show how Splunk on Nutanix ensures:
• The ability to ingest GBs of data per day
• Quick search capabilities for mission critical applications
• Ability to support growth in data ingest rates
• Ease of deployment and management
• Self-contained deployments for data security and privacy

Watch this 5-minute video for a basic understanding of hyperconverged infrastructure and the architecture and features of the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform.

Nutanix makes infrastructure invisible, elevating IT to focus on the applications and services that power their business.

Legacy security architectures and traditional security platforms are ineffective at securing modern data centers. Modern data centers need a security solution that is software-based, distributed, and simple: making security better, faster, and cheaper. vArmour is the leader in software-based segmentation and micro-segmentation that protects critical applications and workloads in the data centers and cloud.

Join this webinar to learn more about the simple steps to securing the modern data center with vArmour.

Data security is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Data-at-rest should be secured in a variety of ways, depending on the use case, security policy, and regulation surrounding it. Modern enterprises need flexibility in how they apply data security, yet also need ease of management. Vormetric is a leader in data security, with a large global footprint of securing data in cloud and on-prem environments.

In this webinar, you will learn critical aspects to securing data in a variety of ways:

1) Three approaches to securing data-at-rest
2) How software-defined policies can ease security management
3) The role that key management plays in securing data-at-rest
4) How real-time alerting can take your security posture to the next level

Security in the modern datacenter requires an evolved mindset and approach. In this technical webinar, Nutanix will provide deep insight into the latest security advancements engineered into the Nutanix enterprise cloud platform, and explain how these advancements can be leveraged to build the most secure environments for your applications and data. Join this webinar to learn security best practices and ask questions relevant to your organization.
